Lots of good things


Yes, agree lots.

I still don't think the US have got 1 vs 100 quite right (although I think the same of the the format generally), but it's certainly more fun than our show from the one episode that's gone out. Neat question writing also.

Well I had the misfortune of watching this tonight.

Obviously trying to be the next big thing, but I don't think it's much of a format really it didn't hook me. Think it's being filmed in a redressed Deal or No Deal studio and it had the obligitory viewer phone competition.

I do prefer the oz version - It was the very version I saw before seeing the UK one. It is so Australian!!!!!!


sorry for the little kiddy's interruption during the vid!!!!

I don't think I've ever seen a show that delivered so little.
Its basically nothing more than Deal or No Deal done in a vacuum with a spinning cube and floating in mid-air. People pick a grid reference and either win money, lose money (or all of it) or nick the opponents money.
The end-game is a virtual rip-off of the Grab the Ads part of Saturday Night Takeaway (substitute prizes for money and substitute the bogus prizes for bankrupt squares).
Poor Les Dennis didn't look at all interested. Sure he's a fabulous host and all, but totally wasted on this. Dermot O'Leary would have been a better host IMO for this show rather than over on 1vs100.
